Dear Neulion / WHL:
My beloved Portland Winterhawks are playing a game RIGHT NOW - as I write this. Sure, I'd love to be able to watch the game, as I have a WHL live subscription, but that would be assuming that the damn thing works.
I've purchased the streaming package for several years now, so this is nothing new to me. I have a fast machine & screamin' internet connection, so that's not an issue. I watched my favorite NHL team win in OT just tonight, for example.
The streaming this season has been particularly bad. My theory is that with the 'Hawks throwing in the road games as part of season tickets, the traffic is increased which further taxes the system. This is not acceptable.
Perhaps its just me, as Neulion tech support has told me in the past. Perhaps not:
Number of goals the Hawks have scored: 4. Number I've actually seen: 2. Number of commericals that had a buffering issue: 0. #conspiracy

this "monthly membership" with the Winterhawks, that includes the streaming...I should have known better, but I got ripped off

they offered it, we paid for it, we ain't getting it. They own it now. @hawkeyblog @NeuLionIPTV @TheWHL @pdxwinterhawks

I'm guessing the whole streaming thing wasn't meant for the US consumer...just like the Memorial Cup @thewhl #whllivefail

Funny...cuz I was able to watch a few games...but once they got interesting with US Division matchups...BOOM nothing. #whllivefail

Once again @whl needs to find a way to get better quality stream for games #horribleseattlefeed

anybody else getting tired of all these buffering issues...seemingly every frickin game
Funny how the feed was ok during pre-skate but went south to choppy and buffering when the game started - due to lots more people logging and other games I suspect...sucks
I got my away games as a part of my package with the Hawks. I'm mulling asking them to cancel the rest of it. Too hit and miss.
The access was part of my hawks package so I was thinking of sending a msg to hawks office pointing out that including this in the package is nice if it works. That said most of the time it does. Only last game the audio of the announcer was bad which may have been a feed from the venue
no, after logging out and logging back in it had gotten better for a little bit, but its right back to a hot mess now.
Sounds like what I'm hoping to pick up at the casino after my sports watching/listening wraps up tonight! :-)

I wonder how many more Portland fans watch the stream now that its part of season tickets, and if that extra usage could push the league to upgrade equipment
we just exited all the way out of the video and it is fine now-if you're still stuck it might be worth a try
